Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension?


Hey all,

I have an Avid Volvere turntable which has a spring suspension system. Sounds great!

But - my rack isn’t the best. Since Corona and inertia are making upgrading my rack impractical right now, I was thinking I could improve things by putting the Avid on an isolation platform.

My question: since the table already has suspension, what should I look for in an isolation platform? High-mass rigid platform like a Mapleshade? Mass + a different type of isolation like the Isoacoustics Delos? Low-mass but high-rigidity like a BDR shelf + BDR cones?

Help!

Apollo based in the UK makes a nice turntable shelf, both single and double. The double provides an additional shelf below for a phono preamp or what have you...they are built using heavy duty welded steel with your choice of glass or wood for the shelf/shelves. My single is mounted to an outside wall in basement which is concrete covered in 2x4's & drywall. Zero vibrations and footfalls. They are not too expensive, look nice, and work well.
